Eat the Good Stuff

Eating. I think about it often.

For the most part we eat pretty healthy around here, but there is still lots of room to improve. Usually I try to cut out completely, or eat less of certain items. But you know what that does? It makes me think about, and want to eat those items more, and then I do just that.

So.

The other day I wondered to myself if maybe I have been going about this all wrong. Maybe I would be more successful in improving my eating habits if instead of worrying about not eating the "bad stuff," I worried more about eating right amounts of the "good stuff." Good stuff like fruits, vegetables, nuts and fiber. Maybe! Just maybe, if I focus on eating (at least) the recommended daily servings of each of those items I would be less inclined to cram my mouth full of other items.

So far it seems to be helping me make smarter choices. I am finding that by doing this I have less room in my tummy, and less time in the day, to eat junk.
